1Most data are estimates.  See Tables 10.1-10.2c for notes on series components and estimation; and
see Note, "Renewable Energy Production and Consumption," at end of Section 10.
8Solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels
heat rate—see Table A6), and solar thermal direct use energy.
2Beginning in 1989, includes waste coal supplied.  Beginning in 2001, also includes a small amount of
refuse recovery.  See Table 7.1.
9Wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat rate—see Table A6).
3Includes lease condensate. 10Wood and wood-derived fuels, biomass waste, and total biomass inputs to the production of fuel
ethanol and biodiesel.
4Natural gas plant liquids. R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  NA=Not available.  (s)=Less than 0.0005 quadrillion Btu.
5Nuclear electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the nuclear heat rate—see Table A6). Notes:  ·  See "Primary Energy Production" in Glossary.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.
6Conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat rate—see
